2019-11-09		The ambush of Morman women and children near La Mora, Mexico was horrible. But, does that mean Mexico is unsafe? The New York Times thinks so. Mexico Daily News posted an article that provides more insight to possible reasons for the horrific murder. The article suggests the families were engaged in drilling illegal wells and drawing water away from others in the area. Threats were made on both sides. A fight was brewing. Perhaps, the end result was the tragedy that evolved. True, nothing is worth the loss of life. But, that said, Mexico is not necessarily unsafe because of this ambush.


2019-08-08		Universal Orlando Announces Best Theme Park Ever Although we do not visit Florida much, we thought the announcement by Universal Orlando interesting. First, it is announcing a project that is underway, that has no concrete theme yet, is going to be larger than anything else in the Universal portfolio and will be an economic contributor to the area in terms of taxes and employment opportunities. Second, it reinforces the idea that theme parks will be future draws to an area. All of us are looking forward to the completion of Vidanta World, and the Universal article reinforces the fact that announcements of major projects are published years before a project opens. Phase One of Vidanta World is likely to open in 2022, three years from now and five years from the first year dirt started to move in earnest. Stay tuned.... Please subscribe to view this article.
